Bonjour comment allez-vous

Challenges as a single Christian
What would you say are the biggest challenges you face as a single Christian who’s dating? How do you try to overcome them?
To find someone with the same principles who wants a serious relationship and where we are genuinely interested in each other.
getting ghosted is a tough one. I get I'm not for everyone, but only few (less than maybe 30%) have the courage to say no thanks (and the reason is irrelevant) so I can concentrate my efforts elsewhere. God bless.
good afternoon! My name is Márcia. I am divorced and Christian. in love with Jesus Christ. I currently live in Brazil. I'm here looking for a sincere and God-fearing person.
Finding a brother who should wait till after marriage to engage is funnier tight in this generation. Alot of people are comfortable wit fornicating as believers. I rather stay single then🤣 yo
@Prudent some can marry you before intimacy and you also must say no sex before marriage and you should tell the person from the beginning
@Prudent I totally agree. Some “Christian” men make promises to wait so you would fall in love with them, and then once you are dating, they start pressuring you physically. It is so difficult to find a man who guards your purity instead of pushing your boundaries. In this sense, they are worse than nonbelievers who are honest about their lust in the first place.
Oii bom
The challenge is to get swept away in pursuing someone. Overcome by “Seeking First The Kingdom Of God!” Go after what Jesus is calling you into, build the ministry He has placed on your heart, surround yourself with community on fire for Jesus, find fitness/endurance challenges, serve, serve & serve again in your local church. Youll find that will fill & sustain you, then the right person will come and youll be running toward Him side by side.
Bom dia!
Some of the answers I already resonate with, but I'll add one more - keeping the hope alive that a miracle of finding love will happen 😅
@Nina for me that hope is practically gone
@Matityahu I agree with both of both, hopes raised and cruely dashed over and over. Everytime I’m on the verge of deleting the app entirely after its been frozen within days its unfrozen 😣🥺
Emotionally unavailable people, this does not show Jesus character, puts you in a situation you behave like wordly men. Seek his kingdom first but work in you too.
Agreed 👍
Bonjour tout le monde

I care about physical purity very much, but everyone else around the age of 30 has shared that physical intimacy with someone else in the past. I’m not judging their past, but I would struggle with retroactive jealousy and insecurity if the person I meet has had a lot of experience before.
@S If you really want to be with someone you'll have to accept that person not only for who he is, but also for who he was, I think that'd come natural for you, or maybe you'll find a person who's also waiting till marriage, who knows
@S Both are right
@S You should wait for someone in the same situation as you
@Tony yes that’s my hope, but if God does bring me someone with past experience, I would still love him and seek Christian counseling so I can move past this mental/emotional block.
@S Yes, that's a very sensible attitude, Christian counselling would be greatly beneficial, don't bottle up your feelings but talk about them instead and jn time you'll be able to manage them
I agree with you! It is hard to find a person like that. I am also convinced that be pure in body is the right thing! Don't give it away
God shows us grace in our sin and makes us righteous. I think if God’s will is for you to have a partner thats been in a close relationship that he’ll give you the grace to cope with it. I pray you’ll soon find someone special, right for you whatever their past 🙏
For me I am quite Respectful and shy and afraid to make step forward with someone thinking she could mind or get upset
1. Isolation. As Church prioritises marriage + family (and friends become busy with those things), singles become invisible. Even if serving, this can create a false sense of belonging. 2. Very hard to find someone who genuinely lives out their faith and has integrity. This is made more difficult when long-distance is not an option. At this point, I make time for friends, and don’t place much expectation on finding someone - being single is better than being in an unhealthy relationship.
Men approach you claiming to be devout Christians so they can gain your trust, but then treat you dishonorably
@S I think it's in large part because Christianity is turning 'trendy' after so many years It reminds me of Jesus' parable of those whose roots aren't deep because they're not truly living in the fsith
@S totally agree with you. Like where on earth do they get the nerve to use the name of the Lord to deceive other people? I honestly can’t believe people can be that diabolical.
The biggest challenges is this season of waiting it's hard
My biggest challenge for me is that, the site is toooo quite, i said to my self, am i Invisible, or what is hapening to my profile? Well i know its my first time but i don’t think my profile is that bad not to have no ones reply??? For me it is better to be truthful than …. Not. And also i felt like may be some are low confidence to proceed? I really dont want to judge at all. And it is vital to be very confident, & ready to come here. I will take any suggestions…. Thank yiu
@Tesfa same problem.
@Tesfa you are very right ✅️ That is my same feeling about that

The challenge of singleness is learning to stand whole without leaning on another human — trusting God while carrying life alone.🙏

Hola
Lust
Boom 🎯
Find someone who doesnt straight away jump in and ask if you want kids. Honestly it makes you feel like there just want a baby mum. :/
@Leanne Hi Leanne are you looking for a relationship
Having patience.
What im facing these days is that a lot of people claim to be christians but they are not !! It is sad !! People think if they go to church or say a prayer that makes them christians
I agree with you completely! Im not perfect and I make mistakes all the time but I am actively trying to be a true follower of Jesus. Too many people are picking and choosing what they want to follow.
@Laura yes !! A lot of people dont know the meaning of being born again !! The bible says unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God
Very well said Joseph. Very well said.
@Tesfa thank you praise The Lord
Finding someone who shares the same depth of faith and commitment is challenging. Prayer, patience, and discernment help me navigate that.
Being Equally yoked is very important
My biggest challenge is feeling unheard and being misunderstood being the only one awake in the relationship while the other person is blindly wondering through life im focused on my mission becoming better than i was yesterday everyday i need a teamate that will walk this walk with me and encourage me to never stray from this path sings songs of worship with me lets do some gardening and have a soil fight lol raise some chickens and start a homestead real is hard to find but 🧔🏽♀️✝️ provides!
👏
I guess dating someone with different beliefs, I mean I dated someone who was Greek Orthodox which was a bit challenging. That and waiting for the right person. And ghosting
My biggest challenge was loving someone who didn’t believe the same as me. Heartbroken but it was a big lesson.
@Oscar its crucial to talk anout it instead of just letting them go. You might like his/ her bleive and ended up in their church so next time, pause, talk about it and discuss and see the result.
